The Crack of a Heart
Leaving a Place of Memory

Six months seemed to pass very quickly. Today is Arifa's graduation day from the academy, where for three years she studied. And during that time, he was educated and forged by the best teachers.

It is difficult to part with friends, one bedroom and one class. So many memories that have passed both joy and sorrow.

"Arifa, I will miss you. I'm sorry if all this time a lot wrong with you," said Andini while crying.

Seeing Andini's tears, Arifa also grieved.

"Udah dong do not cry, I am also sad to separate from you, Din," said Arifa and embraced Andini.

"Andini, Arifa!"

The familiar-sounding voice called out their names, and his footsteps drew closer. Arifa let go of her embrace and turned to the source of the voice.

"Bianka, and ... " Arypha's speech stopped when she saw Danish with Bianka at this time.

It's true that my guess, Bianka and that arrogant fellow have a family connection.

Arifa took a deep breath and slowly blew it away along with the smile she showed.

"Hi, know this about Danish. Mamih is just as my papih busy, fortunately for Danish there is time," said Bianka while looking at Danish who only put a flat face and both hands are put in a pants pocket.

"Oh that, Bi," replied Arifa with a smile that she slightly forced upon seeing Danish.

Without Arifa noticing, Danish secretly glanced at her. After that, Arifa did not care about it.

"Oh, have you been picked up yet? go home with me!" take Bianka with enthusiasm.

"Well, sorry Bi. I was picked up by my parents. Maybe you can take Arifa, she's alone today. Her sister had not even returned home from abroad," Andini said and immediately got a pinch on her arm by Arifa. "Aw! pain knows the Fa."

Arifa smiled as Andini squealed in pain. "Hehe, I can go home by myself. Thanks for the offer Bianka," she subtly refused.

"Can you be alone? your luggage is also not quite a lot," asked Bianka when he saw two suitcases and one backpack that was behind Arifa.

Well, Andin why else wouldn't I go with him? our house is unidirectional.

Arifa grumbled in her heart then sighed. "Beautiful baby, thanks for the offer. I can go home by myself, I can order a taxi online."

"Already, Bi. If the person does not want to not be forced," said Danish with his attitude.

Arifa was surprised to hear Danish's words, but she still showed a smile.

"Yes, you're careful on the road, we go first" said Bianka then left his two friends who were still standing there.

"Fa, I'm sorry I couldn't bring you together. You see, after coming from here, I'm the same my parents will move abroad. So I will also go to college there" said Andini who felt guilty.

"That's okay, Din. Uuuh, we'll be really far away huh. May our relationship continue to be well established even though far apart," said Arifa while stroking Andini's arm.

"Aamiin, if I go first, Fa. You are carefully on the way" said Andini before finally leaving Arifa.

"Yes, you too!" arifa replied with a slight shout as Andini went missing from her sight.

Arifa let out her breath again. Now it's quiet back to cover it. The online taxi he ordered was in front of him. The taxi driver helped himself put his luggage in the car.

Along the way to his residence, Arifa was only speechless with a glance out the car door window. Tired of longing for his now-defunct papa.

After this, his life depends on how he himself will carry it. The college he had chosen, had been waiting in plain sight.

TING'S. The notification on Arifa's phone read. Dropped his daydreams since. He immediately opened the message.

📩Kak Farhan :

Where are you Fa?

📨 : On the road. Otw to the house.

📩Kak Farhan :

Brother just arrived at the airport, if so we meet at home.

(read)

The phone also locks back and automatically turns off temporarily. Arifa closed her eyes until she fell asleep.

...----------------...

Arifa and Farhan had arrived at the front of the house together. That's because their house is in the middle. Academy - Home - Airport.

"Sister!" call Arifa who looks upset.

Farhan who had already realized his mistake only smiled while scratching his non-itchy neck. "Sorry, the plane was delayed. So you're late to pick you up."

Without saying any more, Arifa hugged Farhan who had not met for six months.

"Excuse me, sorry Ma'am, this suitcase has been dropped all," said the taxi driver made Arifa let go of his embrace.

"Eh yes, sir. Thank you very much, the payment has been through the application yes," said Arifa and the driver nodded.

"Then excuse me, Ma'am Mas," said the taxi driver then left in front of the brothers.

"Yeah, in!" take Farhan with you while helping with Arifa's belongings.

...----------------...

The fragrant aroma of cooking is smelled by Arifa's sense of smell when the door to her room is accidentally opened. Arifa was curious, she came out of the room and looked for where the fragrance was.

"Good night princess sleeps," Farhan greeted with his usual prank, as he watched his sister climb down the stairs.

Arifa turned to Farhan. Instantly his laughter also chuckled. For the first time he saw Farhan wearing a pink apron stripes belonging to his mother.

"Not laugh." Farhan who realized the thing that was laughed at by his sister also clucked. "Cobain used to be, spaghetti la fonte ala chef Farhan," he said with pride.

Arifa, who was in the kitchen with Farhan, came to the plate that had been filled with spaghetti cooked by her brother. "How good is this, brother?" ask before trying.

"Eat him try first. Delicious or not later."

Arifa also shrugged her shoulders as if in doubt with the taste of the food in front of her, then took out a fork whose place could still be reached by her. After tasting, both eyes faded and then closed for a moment.

"Enak Brother!" arifa then took the plate to the dining room.

Farhan also smiled happy to see Arifa liked the results of his cooking. Maybe, after he and Arifa get a soul mate each time like this will be difficult to exist, thought Farhan so.

...----------------...

After finishing dinner, the two sat in the living room watching television.

"Fa?" said Farhan who opened their conversation.

"Yes, Brother?"

"A few days ago, I was able to advertise this house on a property application. And yesterday afternoon, there was a chat through the application and interest in buying this house," explained Farhan and Arifa averted his eyes from the television that had been watched since.

"When do people see our house, brother?" ask Arifa.

"Tomorrow afternoon .. have you met a suitable boarding place near the campus?" ask Farhan back.

"Yet, hehe."

"Yes tomorrow morning, Brother and sister looking for a boarding place. Don't forget to wake up in the morning!"

"Ready Boss!"

Arifa looked around the family room. This time he will leave everything, even if there are sweet memories. He let it be a past that will be used as a lesson for his future.

Indeed it is the hardest to release something that has been attached to memory. But if you can let go, everything will feel easy and replaced with a more beautiful one.
